There was only one catch. Umpire Jim Joyce called the final batter safe at first. Baseball doesn’t have instant replay as pro football and basketball do, so the decision stood.

The Trinity Place development project is moving into a new, more public phase in the coming months. Since Los Alamos County terminated its exclusive developer arrangement with the Boyer Company last fall, many people have assumed that the project was “dead” or that work on the project had ceased.

That has not been the case, although the difficulties being experienced throughout the U.S. economy have made for slow going over the winter.
